Cable TV is capitalizing on the scandalous post-Grammy headlines that paint Chris Brown as a woman-beater and Rihanna a victim. They were two young, hot popstars. Now, they’re young, even hotter tabloid fodder. Want to see one version of this relationship?
MTV will air Chris Brown & Rihanna: Love in Trouble on Monday night at 6pm EST. A presentation of MTV News, the special will be studded with specialists, journalists and other “experts” who will provide “insight” and “commentary” into how the recent events might unfold in the future. An audience of young Brown and Rihanna fans will pepper the stands, offering their take on the events.
The relationship between the pair, which lasted for about a year, will be retold and explored during the special. It will also delve into Brown’s background, which is said to be fraught with abuse.

MONDAY 2/16)
- Chuck (NBC, 8pm): “Chuck and Sarah go undercover as a happily married couple in surburbia.” A happy couple in surburbia? Isn’t the whole point to be inconspicuous?
- Jon & Kate Plus 8 (TLC, 9pm): “The Gosselins settle into their new home after the big move, but there’s still lots of work to be done.” And Kate will make sure Jon knows it.
- Kyle XY (ABC Family, 9pm): “Kyle reluctantly starts working at Latnok to repay his debt, and it’s not at all what he expects. Yet he still wants to quit, until he considers the Tragers’ current financial situation.” Back up a second—someone’s hiring?
- True Beauty (ABC, 10pm): “Contestants walk the red carpet with their parents, but there are also several secret tests of manners going on.” In other words, pushing mom out of your spotlight would be inadvisable.

MONDAY 2/9)
NOTE: A President Obama press conference will interfere with the previously scheduled programming.
- The Secret Life of the American Teenager (ABC Family, 8pm): “Ben and Amy’s relationship hits a rough patch when Ben tells her he needs some space.” The pressure of buying a Valentine’s Day gift was just too much for him.
- One Way Out (Discovery, 9pm): “The host braves a high-speed barrage of tennis balls and steep plunges into kiddie pools before becoming the projectile in a human catapult.” Idiotic stunts have just become more financially appealing.
- The Girls of Hedsor Hall (MTV, 9pm): Series premiere. “In the opener, 12 rude and crude bad girls from the U.S. enroll in a British finishing school for a chance to transform their lives and win a $100,000 trust.” The goal? To become the next Amy Winehouse or Lily Allen.
- CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm): “Horatio believes that prominent defense attorney (Sean Combs) is involved in the cover-up of a murder.” Diddy doesn’t cover-up murders. That’s what his personal assistants are for.

Making the Band…without Danity Kane?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, Cable, MTV, Gossip, Video,
During last season’s finale of Making with the Band 4, Diddy surprised everyone following Danity Kane by making two shocking decisions. (Okay - we could have probably seen the first one coming.) Even before layoffs had become the norm, the girl group’s producer axed Aubrey O’Day and D. Woods after a very uncomfortable meeting. (You can relive that moment after the jump.)

(You can view TV Envy’s Midseason Programming Schedule here.)
MONDAY 1/26)
- Jon & Kate Plus 8 (TLC, 9pm): “Jon and Kate take the kids to see their new home.” The new place comes with extra bathrooms…and a new set of parents.
- The Closer (TNT, 9pm): Series return. “The fate of Detective Sanchez, who was shot three times and airlifted to a hospital, is revealed.” I don’t know how Sanchez is doing, but the suspense has been killing me!
- Bromance (MTV, 9pm): “Brody tricks the final four into attending a fake launch party for his line of designer jeans, where he asks them to walk the red carpet in pants that are entirely too tight.” Huh. I have no idea why people think this is really a dating show.
- Trust Me (TNT, 10pm): Series premiere. “Eric McCormack and Tom Cavanagh star as two best friends working as creative partners at a top-ranked Chicago ad agency.” Kinda like Mad Men, but without the booze and cigarettes. At least not in the office.

Can’t get to Washington, D.C. in time for the biggest celebration of the year? There are many ways to watch the history-making Inaugural event which will see the swearing in of President-elect Barack Obama. Can’t attend a party in reality? Time to turn to all different types of TV.
The carbon-neutral Green Inaugural Ball, which is chaired by former VP Al Gore, will be Webcast on multiple sites. Watch the arrivals on the Green Carpet and enjoy the emissions-free atmosphere from the safety of your laptop.

(You can view TV Envy’s Midseason Programming Schedule here.)
MONDAY 1/19)
- The Secret Life of the American Teenager (ABC Family, 8pm): “Ricky’s dad arrives in town with a proposal for how Ricky should handle impending fatherhood.” Apparently leaving town is an option?
- House (FOX, 8pm): “Cuddy discovers that caring for her newly adopted baby leaves her little time to run the hospital.” Taking care of House and a baby is an impossible feat.
- Bromance (MTV, 9pm): “The guys embark on a camping trip, but before reaching their destination, they stop at a biker bar where each must face off against a huge biker in the parking lot.” The reality is, many people want to kick Brody Jenner‘s ass. It’s time to hone their defense skills now.
- Paranormal State (A&E, 10pm): Season premiere. “A family believes their new home in suburban New Jersey is haunted. The team’s investigation leads them to dig in the yard for possible answers.” Haunting or no haunting, buried things in my yard is reason enough to move.

MONDAY 1/12)
- 24 (FOX, 8pm): “Jack is released from his Senate subcommittee hearing to help with the domestic threat and the investigation into former colleague Tony Almeida.” I can’t imagine what he would do to just to get out of jury duty.
- Kyle XY (ABC Family, 9pm): Season 3 premiere. “Lori, Declan, Josh and Andy deal with the choices they made at the prom.” Whatever happens at prom, stays at prom.
- Man vs. Wild (Discovery, 10pm): “An adventure in the jungles of Belize has the host reckoning with a 9-foot boa constrictor and a dangerous white-water river.” The longer the snake, the more skin to pee in.
